This is a great and fantastic weather app that will give you push weather alerts, current conditions, forecasts for free. More accurate weather forecasts than what comes in the Apple stocked Weather app. Weather forecasts are also available for international users with the exception that it does not offer weather alerts notifications for those outside of the United States.

#1 beautiful

This is beautiful. I have Forecast Now on my ipad & now I have thii app. I bike them both & I feel it's impossible to choose which app. I've only had it for a day or 2, but I love it! I'm like you, I'm a iucker for weather apps, news apps, music apps, radio apps, & book apps.

But if youre looking for a free app with alerts, forecasts & user-friendliness & accessibility, this is an app I'd install along with Forecast Now.

Your podcast was very informative & thanks to you I was ale to configure my alerts & have a better grasp of how to work the app en general!

#2 seems almost like a duplicate

Firsly, thanks for the great podcast, Thomas. Now for my concern: How does this differ from the app that I have had for quite a while now, Weather Radio HD.? It seems to do many of the same things that I paid for, although it is worldwide and free. In a side by side comparison, not figuring that one is free and the other is a paid app, which would you prefer, and why? Thanks.
